New Orleans - 3 days and counting

Just 3 days til our students, chaperones and staff head off on our Sugar Bowl Trip. I have updated all the pages including the final itenerary, student checklist and safety / rules and regulations pages. The band will meet on the evening of the 31st for a rehearsal and then a New Years Eve party begins at 11:15. We'll load up the busses and be on our way around 12:15am or so on January 1st.

Mavband Puts on a great show

Hello to all our Mavbandfans!

Thanks to all who came out to support our band this evening as we were treated to a great concert packed with a media presentation that was second to none. All three bands put on a great show and their hard work and practice was very clear to see and hear!

Thanks to Gil Searcy, James Chen, Scott Blackwell and Dan Haas as they have once again shown why our media team rocks!

Our Media Sale was a HUGE success! Thanks to you and the Mellow Mushroom fundraiser last month, we will probably be able to at least buy our kids one additional meal on the Sugar Bowl trip. Once our final numbers are tallied, we will send out a mavblast letting you know! Thank you to each of our band parents who have so dilligently supported our band and the boosters. To make a band of this size work so well, it takes everyone's help. We are very blessed to have so many parents be part of our organization.

A special thank you to Kaye Emsley and all the Booster Board parents who have worked to tirelessly for our kids this marching season.
